a/n: Ok so the busyness of the new semester has set in and I just had one
of the crappiest weekends ever I think. Sorry again that this took so long
guys but I was dealing with my own problems this weekend, and was too busy
with school during the week.
Chapter 15
"What are you doing Izzy?" Chris shouted, "You know Wyatt can sense them this close!"
She looked back at him, "It's not like he doesn't already know where we're going. What does it matter whether or not he can sense them?" Chris just stared at her, he couldn't believe this. His world was going to hell and she was calling for Leo and Phoebe now, when she knew that Wyatt was after them.
"Richard said he'd hold them off." Phoebe said seeing the look on his face and know what was going through his head, "We have a little time."
"Yeah, a little but not enough." Chris muttered.
"Richard?" Paige asked confused. Phoebe looked at her and remembered Richard's last words to her. 'Don't let this world exist,' he had pleaded. The desperation in his eyes was so intense; he carried scars both visible and emotional. Time had not only aged him but changed him as well. She had barely been able to recognize him, his pain had been so intense, and she had almost been overwhelmed by it. What had happened? How could their family, their future have turned out like this? Paige could see the conflict and pain in Phoebe's eyes but before she could even question her further about it, Isabelle said "A little is all we need; we have to go, now."
*****
As they disappeared Wyatt immediately sent demons after them. 'Damn Chris and his telepathy!' he thought. His head hurt, it hurt every time Isabelle had tried to form the mind connection. Though it had only happened a few times he knew it left a mark on her as well as him and it was just as painful if not more for her, they were family and their magic wasn't supposed to be used against one another. Morian was the only one who remained within the room. Wyatt knew that if it hadn't been for Paige that energy ball Morian was about to throw at Isabelle would have killed her. That wasn't what he wanted. "I told you to attack her not attempt to kill her." He said coldly.
"Forgive me, she was proving more of a liability then I had originally thought."
"Forgiveness? No, Morian," he said as an energy ball formed in his hand, "normally you wouldn't disobey my orders. Why now? Was it her premonition? Are you the real reason behind my mother's death?" he continued his voice turning colder and colder.
"Sir-"
"Don't, I will not suffer betrayal from the likes of you Morian, a mere sorcerer attempting to gain my power. Maybe Izzy was right, and if that's the case-" he threw the energy ball vanquishing Morian, "I won't allow you to live." Not even Chris and Izzy knew that Wyatt blamed himself for their mother's deaths. He could've stopped that demon beforehand and if Isabelle was right about that premonition then Morian deserved to die- despite all he had done to help ensure Wyatt's rise in power. One thing was for sure though, he wasn't gonna let Izzy and Chris destroy everything he had gained. Wyatt grabbed the Book of Shadows and orbed to the Manor.

Richard stood by the stand meant to hold the Book of Shadows. Memories ran through his mind of times now long past when Paige had still lived, along with his daughters. Now a hologram of the book was in its place and it angered him just like it did Chris and Izzy. He hoped they would get here before Wyatt. The demons had already been taken care of by him and the other refugees, who currently patrolled the house and perimeter. Chris and Izzy had to get back and save this world, and if Wyatt got here before them he would have his revenge. He knew Chris and Izzy wouldn't want that, but he didn't care. It was Wyatt's fault that his daughters were dead. He looked up just as Chris and Izzy walked in followed by none other than Paige, her sisters and Leo.
"Thanks Richard." Chris said breathlessly.
"Just get back and fix this." He shortly replied not looking at Paige. Any reminder of her brought emotions he couldn't deal with now.
Orbs started appearing in the attic signifying Wyatt's arrival. "Go!" Richard shouted.
"Phoebe, throw the potion!" Piper yelled as the orbs formed into Wyatt. Phoebe retrieved the potion from her pocket and threw it at the wall which began to glow in the shape of the triquatra. Wyatt materialized and Richard formed an energy ball to throw at him but was too late. Wyatt stood directly behind Izzy and grabbed hold of her, but he was too late, Chris, and the girls were gone, along with Leo. The portal closed leaving him, Izzy, and Richard alone in the attic.

Present day in the attic..
"Where's Izzy?" Chris asked frantically. They had all gotten through except her.
"Uh oh...I don't think she got back." Paige said.
As realization dawned on Chris he made for the book but Leo stopped him. "We have to get her back, he'll hurt her!"
"Chris, we have more important things to worry about." Leo answered.
Chris glared at him, "Of course you wouldn't listen now either. You have no idea what he could do to her."
Piper timidly approached him, "Chris, honey, Izzy will be ok, you know she can take care of herself." Chris looked back at her; he had lost her way too young. After they had died, he promised to always protect his family, but he didn't do the best job of that. He had to fix it, it was the only way to save everyone he loved. He knew Izzy could take care of herself, but he didn't want her to have to.
"We should look for a way to stop Morian, in the here and now. That way we'll be saving not only Wyatt, but ourselves and everyone else." Paige said. "That's what she'd want Chris." Chris looked from Piper to Paige then finally at Phoebe. "I think I know a way to find him. I'll be back." He said as he orbed away giving in to what they wanted. This had to work, or else he would have lost everything.
